Unseen, unspoken, and of no one known;

Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours
For one lone soul another lonely soul,
Each choosing each through all the weary hours,
And meeting strangely at one sudden goal,
Then blend they, like green leaves with golden flowers,

And life's long night is ended, and the way
Lies open onward to eternal day.
